saint boggy Posted 13 August, 2008 Share Posted 13 August, 2008 I have known D C for a long time, he is a local business man of many years standing and you could not wish to meet a more pleasant bloke. Many 'pleasant' people turn into mouthy, agressive a*holes when they have a little too much to drink, ya know!! ..............(am not saying he was drunk, i was just making an observation)...

lordswoodsaints Posted 13 August, 2008 Share Posted 13 August, 2008 i dont know the bloke but didnt he have a 'fall out' with the club a few years ago about the use of saints copyright to advertise his seats? i may be wrong? perhaps this has been brewing for a number of years and the club have taken the oppurtunity for retribution.

saint boggy Posted 13 August, 2008 Share Posted 13 August, 2008 (edited) i have shown my ex partner (who came round to visit the kids) this thread, and the original news report attatched in POST 1......my ex used to steward in the Junior Saints (family enclosure) section of SMS.....as soon as the news report started he turned round and said to me ,and i quote,"oh, that ***t!!!".... when i asked him what he meant by that he went on to remind me of a few (ie,more than one) incidents involving this man in which he would CONSTANTLY swear at the players, and be abusive to ANYONE who asked him to tone down his colourful language (stewards and fellow supporters alike).....he was given warning after warning about his behaviour, and would not take heed..... i do not know if this is the reason that he was banned,obviously, only the powers that be would know for sure, but whilst being ejected from the ground he ,allegedly, punched a steward.....now i know a lot of you are gonna go on about "most stewards are pr1cks,so probably deserved it" etc, but just bear in mind that this was in the Family Section, an area that virtually NEVER sees any trouble, and the stewards there normally have no need to be heavy handed or suffer from the Little Hilter Syndrome..... this bloke seems to have a MAHOOSIVE chip on his shoulder, and why on earth he would want to go on TV and bring,what would inevitably be, negative attention to himself is beyond me..... serious thought tho, if Toomer is so sure that he is such a nice bloke, yet there are so many posts to the contrary,could he possibly suffer from a split personality???.......or is he just an egotistical,attention seeking,self pitying,foul-mouthed c*nt????:confused: And Awaysaint1, any chance of seeing this video of yours.......would be interesting to see what/how it happened........

benjii Posted 13 August, 2008 Share Posted 13 August, 2008 Whatever he's like 99% of the time, someone capable of turning a young child's funeral into some sort of triumphalist gloating session, is clearly capable of being a **** at football and getting deservedly banned.

itchen Posted 13 August, 2008 Share Posted 13 August, 2008 (edited) Well Mr Caplen has now had his character thoroughly probed on this forum (deservedly or not). But surely the real point is that SFC has the right to refuse admission to anyone as long as they (the club) are not acting in a manner that contradicts the law (for example, by being racist or sexist). Whether their reasons for doing so would be enough to secure a criminal conviction is irrelevant - if they don't want him, they don't have to have him. They don't seem to want him. And as Mr Caplen says he doesn't want to go anyway, I wonder why this was thought to be worthy of a couple of minutes on BBC TV.
